Yoga teaches us to be total. We begin to enquire who we are. We undo all the knots we have tied, drop all boundaries. The island that we have become will merge into the ocean; we will become the ocean. We will come to grips with what is and what we are.
What is real you? What is that you are going to come to grips with? What are you looking for? You are unique, but you will only find that thru finding the true self within. What is your true self? It is the original source, the unmanifested silence of God within the being, which is your higher self.
Once you realise that all your miseries arise from 'me', as an individual, you can drop that individuality and know that you are not an island, that you are the unmanifested energy, the silence of God.
We have to drop all logic. We have to experience and to know. This is the highest price of human achievement. A slow, slow process, which has been done and still can be done. Have you the courage, the strength and the will to surrender? First see all the negativities within yourself, admitting that, as an individual, you are nothing; and secondly can you drop all the importance of what you think you are and through looking at yourself, seeking your weaknesses and adjusting them, merge again back into the silence of God?
